“I was shocked. I was hurt. I couldn't look at the video for the second time. For me not to be there, it was hard. I couldn't help him no matter how,” ayon sa ina ni Ray na si Maria nang makapanayam ng Balitang America kamakailan.

Hindi agad napagbigay-alam sa pamilya Cabalfin ang pangyayari.

“I was mad, of course, at his friends, but still it wouldn’t do any good at this time. I just wanted to look for him and find him,” sabi ng kanyang ina.
